Chapter 621: Immortal Deeds 8
The flag bearer under the Eagle was different from ordinary people, he wore a silver horned helmet decorated with red vertical horses, and two huge face guards wrapped most of his face, and only the eyes could be seen in the dim light.
The blood-red glow of the remnant sun was like a shining cloak, and the wolfskin shawl that was gently resting on the man's shoulders without the man noticing, then went all the way down, straight to the distant boundless sea behind him.
Wearing a red shirt and armor with gorgeous golden scales, the standard-bearer rode his horse slowly, and soon, like an angel in battle, a large number of spear tips slowly rose from behind him.
Slowly, as the sound of the trumpets continued, thousands of horsemen marched side by side with mounted rifles, and they formed a seemingly impregnable wall with no end in sight.
The trumpets continued to sound, and more and more troops appeared, and soon a high ground behind them was filled with columns of cavalry and infantry.
The eagle banner was like a shining beacon on his shoulder, and the flickering golden light could be seen far away from the command office of Aetius behind the Roman army.
"What's that? Eagle Banner? Facing the glitter of gold, Aetius subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover it, although this small light could not cause any discomfort to his eyes at all.
Theris's eyes widened, trying to see the details of this inexplicable army from a distance of a kilometer.
"They didn't weigh it up, they all traveled lightly." Tyreus described the army before him: "They must have come from afar, in the same direction as the barbarians against whom we are fighting, who are better equipped than the barbarians, and who are in the ranks of the Romans." ”
"Luga!" At this time, an officer behind Aetius couldn't help but shout: "Flavis. Luga! ”
Looking at the messy battlefield in front of him, both sides were certainly exhausted and unwilling to give up the army. They stopped fighting each other and looked back at the massive legion.
Luga stood at the forefront of the army with the eagle banner on his shoulder, and his appearance instantly changed the pattern of the battlefield, and everyone looked at him, thinking about why he and his army had come here.
"I don't know how they should feel when they see us coming." Luga looked down at the battlefield in front of him with a proud look on his face, and said to Odyss, "I don't know what you think of this war at this time, but I can clearly feel that they are trembling, these hungry guys. ”
Aetius's men were not overly enthusiastic in the face of the Roman army coming from afar, on the contrary, they reacted to this army from an unknown place as if they were enemies in front of them.
Confusion and confusion took over everyone's faces, until the horn of the commanding soldiers ceased, and Luga and his legions stood on the high ground and stood by.
"Romans, they are Romans!"
Finally, the voice of the silent soldier appeared, a little confused, as if unsure, but with excitement in his tone.
"Romans, our allies! Our allies! ”
Such an excited and excited voice spread to the entire military formation, and finally, as if the long-pent-up air wave had finally broken through the roof, the excitement of the soldiers erupted like a volcano.
They raised their weapons in their hands and cheered loudly, as if at this moment history had already destined them to win this victory.
"Aetius's army awaits your deliverance, Master Soldier." Odeus whispered behind Luga, he was a little complacent, because in his opinion, Luga's mysteries were not at all bad with what he thought, and in an instant any expectation in his heart disappeared without a trace, imagining that Luga was nothing more than that, "It turns out that Your Excellency wants to fight with Aetius against the barbarians in front of you." ”
Luga could clearly discern a hint of disdain in Odes's tone, but he was not angry at it, believing it to be disrespectful to his authority. He did not open his mouth to defend himself, but pointed to the army of Aetius in front of him and said to Odyss: "They are exhausted and can no longer sustain, and the victory belongs to us, because their weakness causes them to watch us take the victory away." ”
"I seem to see what you mean, Lord Luga." Odyss' eyes widened in confusion at first, and then he nodded again and again in a sudden realization, his face full of joy that could not be concealed. "So, Lord Luga, is it still as flat as we have divided our merits, as we said at the time?"
"Naturally, Lord Odyss!" Luga nodded again and again: "Once Augustus drove to Augusta-Treville, making the city flourishing, nobles and commoners everywhere do not want to be protected by Augustus and bathe in his glory, of course, if you succeed this time, you will become the local nobles of Augusta-Treville, and get more benefits here." ”
At the mention of benefits, Odeus couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, there is indeed no one in this world who can't get along with money, and of course he is.
The senators of the Roman Senate demanded not only good character and elegant rhetoric when speaking, but also a measure of their status in the Senate in terms of money.
The family of Odes had considerable property in Sicily and Africa, and the barbarian invasion and the loan of the Afrikaner name to the Vandals caused him a lot of losses.
Because he supported Luga's attack on Africa, he was ostracized and suppressed, and he had to compromise in order to protect the position of the Senate, and now Luga has brought him a new opportunity to choose, of course, he will grasp it, at least not like the worried guys, who will only worry about the future and hesitate in the face of happiness, until he misses the opportunity and beats his chest and regrets it.
Such a move is a practice that is ridiculed in the aristocratic world, and of course such people often do not become rich aristocrats.
Odeus received such an extreme education since he was a child, so that he acted decisively and steered the rudder, although this is not like the virtue that an honest and honest patriarch should have, but in the age when money measures character, why not have a way to make money?
"Yes, Lord Luga." Odess thought about it and finally chose to get on Luga's thief ship, "You can go boldly and boldly, I will achieve the effect you want for you afterwards." ”
"Ha, this is what the observation group should look like!" Luga showed his attitude with a loud laugh, and then he rode forward and raised the eagle banner and shouted at the Roman soldiers behind him: "Now, your enemies are so tired that they cannot even raise their weapons, they are so weak that they do not even have the strength to resist, therefore, I command you, face them, men and women, kill them, and leave no one alive, this is your immortal work, go, God looks down on you in heaven and blesses you for it, Because you are dealing not with anyone else, but against damned infidels, go, kill them! ”
The cavalry roared and rushed out at Luga's call, and a large number of cavalry swept towards the barbarian ranks like a stormy wave.
"Betrayer!"
"Deceiver!"
"Perfidious bastard!"
The barbarian tribe civilians who were powerless to resist could only shout at Luga and accuse Luga of his "crime" in pale and feeble words, well, if God considered it a crime.
